NETGEAR's popular FS100 series desktop switches, known for their reliability and performance, provide high-speed, 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing connectivity for as many as 5, 8, or 16 users. These switches are easy to set up with no software configuration required. They automatically negotiate the fastest connection and have Auto Uplink™ technology to determine if a straight-through or cross-over connection is needed. They can integrate existing 10BASE-T devices into higher bandwidth environments and offer full wire speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps on all ports. The switches operate silently without internal fans and come in a sturdy metal case. The ProSafe FS105, FS108, and FS116 switches are ideal for growing businesses that require solid network performance and quiet operation at affordable prices. They provide LAN access for many users, with each port supporting up to 200 Mbps in dedicated bandwidth and automatic flow control for flawless traffic forwarding. These compact switches are suitable for conference rooms, classrooms, study groups, and more.
The FS105, FS108, and FS116 ProSafe 10/100 Desktop Switches provide reliable, high‑speed Ethernet connectivity for small offices, classrooms, or conference rooms. Each unit is a compact metal‑case device with auto‑sensing UTP ports that automatically negotiate speed and duplex, and Auto Uplink™ technology that selects the correct cable type.
Installation is straightforward: plug in Ethernet cables, connect the power adapter, and the switch begins operating without any configuration software. The switches operate silently (no internal fan) and include status LEDs for power, link, speed, and activity on each port. A wall‑mount kit is included for space‑saving placement.
